Now Back To Not Working
Nov. 23rd, 2009 03:53 pmThree Things About Monday
1. travelling by train >>>>> travelling by plane. I get less motion sick, the seats are more comfortable, I can plug in my computer and watch videos (and even get internet long enough to check email at some of the stations) and there's a cafe. I wish I were European so I could travel like this all the time, instead of having to scrunch into a tiny uncomfortable seat for six hours of boring nausea. As you may be able to infer from this, the trip to Sacramento went fine.
2. The season 5 finale of NCIS was so awful. The only redeeming thing was Tony in a Hawaiian shirt and watching the team emotionally bond. But Franks is a horrible, uninteresting character, and the show's treatment of Jenny (OH NOES SHE IS A CAREER WOMAN. OH NOES SHE WANTS TO BE IN CHARGE BUT SHE HAS THE VAGINA. OH NOES HER WEAK WOMANLY EMOTIONS MAKE HER DO CRAZY THINGS) will pretty much never stop pissing me off. Especially since she has the potential to be such an awesome character, and I want so badly to like her the way I like Ziva and Abby. Unrelatedly, I'm also disappointed there isn't more fic of Tony/the Metro PD guy from episode 9. Because there is no way in hell they weren't ex-boyfriends.
3. Registered for classes for next term! After much agonizing, I'm taking Arthurian Literature and Medieval Romance, Science Fiction: techno dreams and nightmares, either Reading and Writing Poetry or Creative Non-Fiction, and Traditional Japanese Culture. At some point I need to make a chart of what classes I need for English vs what I've taken - I have it more or less straight in my head, but I'm worried I'm going to lose track of a requirement. Grr.
